Fantastic Photographer!

We found Jose and his work at a wedding convention and were immediately drawn to his photography style. He is very personable, friendly, and wonderful to talk to. Jose captured every detail and more for our wedding day and exceeded our expectations. We received tons of compliments on our pictures and have many candid pictures of our guests just enjoying the wedding. These are so wonderful to look back on. As we looked back on photos, my bridal party and I had noticed that Jose had done an excellent job capturing important moments but never getting too close throughout the entire day to allow everyone to enjoy these moments in person. Our getting ready, ceremony and reception photos capture so many of the emotions felt and allow you to relive the day. The “after wedding” session he offers is so much fun and allows you to dress up again and take more relaxed portraits. I couldn’t say enough positive things about Jose and his work and will definitely recommend him to others!

Hire him now

The moment I saw Jose's photos, I started crying because I knew I had found my wedding photographer. Being a photographer myself, it was incredibly challenging to find someone whose work wasn’t overly photoshopped, with low saturation or terrible white balance. I wanted our photos to look like they belonged on the cover of Vanity Fair—and that is exactly what I got. Jose is not just any wedding photographer; he’s a true artist.
You could hire a typical wedding photographer and end up with some 2011 Flickr-esque photos, or you can choose Jose and get something extraordinary. I also cannot stress enough how much my husband, myself, and everyone he photographed absolutely loved him. From the moment we had our first meeting, I knew we made the right choice again! His energy brought so much light to our event, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He gave clear directions to get all the best shots so quickly, and yet he made it feel natural to pose. My favorite moments were when he’d snap a photo, look at it, say "WOW!" and then show it to me—cue me crying again!
Jose’s work is flawless, and every moment he captured felt like a masterpiece. If you want someone who truly understands the art of photography and will elevate your wedding photos to the next level, Jose is your guy. We loved every second of working with him, and will continue to rehire him for all our life events until he retires or we die. No other photographer is allowed in our lives now!

Book! Don't even think, just book!

Jose was amazing! He captured our day perfectly. He navigated 4 sets of parents, the large amount of family that comes with that and our bridal party spectacularly. He was great to work with and my husband and I couldn't be happier!

All you will ever need and more!

Excellent skills, super comfortable to work with, and a true artist that will bring out the best from you in a collaborative way. Jose is the only option you need to consider for you wedding photos. My wife and I scoured the internet to do the seemingly impossible task of finding the perfect photographer for our wedding. Jose made the impossible possible.

My Wedding

From the moment I met Mr. Garcia I know he must take our wedding photos. Both him and his wife took our engagement photos and wedding photos. They listened to what we wanted and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable! It was really important to me to have certain photos and they delivered! Since to work with!

Jose was great to work with! He traveled to us for engagement pictures which was 3 hrs from where he lives. Was always on time, available for meeting anytime, helped us create the wedding timeline and had our wedding pictures to us in a timely manner! Amazing quality photos!

Jose photographed our engagement and wedding photos

Jose is absolutely amazing. Not only is he incredibly talented, he listened to all of the things that were important to us about our wedding and captured them better than we could have imagined. He is always quick to respond with questions and helped with so many tips for our celebration making us feel so comfortable with everything. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. He is a truly genuine person and so much fun to work with. We have already recommended him to our friends and loved ones and will be using him in the future for photos as well.

100/10 experience

Jose is an absolutely STELLAR Photographer and human being. My husband and I are not keen on taking photos, but Jose and his wife, Trinity, are incredible at what they do. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and our engagement and wedding photos were a breeze because of their expertise and talent. We felt like we were hanging out with friends on the most important day of our lives. Not only were our engagement photos incredible, but the photos we've had a sneak peek of from our wedding have been absolutely breathtaking. Everyone we know has told us how amazing the photos are, and we are so, SO excited to see everything that these two captured. On top of the amazing captures, Jose is affordable, organized, and exceptionally easy to work with. I cannot recommend him enough. You will be comfortable and can put all of your trust in his work!

Above and beyond

I can’t even begin to explain how much we appreciated having Jose be with us for our special day. He was incredibly helpful with anything and everything we needed during the entire wedding planning process! He wasn’t just there to take pictures he was there to help us through the WHOLE process before during and after! Jose made it clear from our initial meeting that if we ever had any questions he would be more than happy to help with whatever it may have been. His positive demeanor, kindness, and organizational skills really helped us feel 100% more relaxed during such a big day. As for the actual photos OH MY GOSH they were gorgeous and I won’t ever not get emotional looking at every single one of them. He was able to capture the emotions in his photos weather it was just my husband and I or our families enjoying their time together. I will be forever grateful to Jose Garcia Photography for providing us with such beautiful memories.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
